a letter. to he readat the next meeting of the council, besent to the Town Clerk, stating thatffter the debate on Monday the unionfelt that the issue was again beingconfused. The union wished to em-phasise that rest rooms were not re-quired. It was also felt that the sug-gestion that
„ the larger city shopscatered adequately for women in thisrespect was beside the point. “It cer-tainly is true that the shops do caterfor women, but it is also a method ofgetting them to spend more money inthese shops,” said the president (MrsM. Furey). “In any case, it should nothe the business of private people, buta civic duty. It is a job for the coun-cil.
Mrs R. W, Thompson presided at theOctober meeting of the Horrelville-West Eyretoq sub-centre of the RedCross Society. Members decided to sendflowers to the Plastic Surgical Unit attne Burwood Hospital and to hold awelcome, home social in honour of thereturned adopted prisoner of war.

last evening’s meeting of the Canter-bury Housewives’ Union. “A numberof shop-owners whom I have inter-viewed have been in favour of Satur-day closing,” said the president (MrsM. Furey). “In Auckland 580 shoosare now closing on Saturday. Theaverage housewife does not shop onSaturday morning. It is unfnr for cer-tain sections of the working commun-ity to have advantages which aredenied to another section," continuedMrs Furey. The possibility of work-ing employees in relays to enable theshops to be kept open on Saturdays,and to give employees alternate week-ends free, was slso discussed. It wasdecided that the secretary of the ShopAssistants’ Union (Mr P. M. Velvin)be written to, stating that the Can-terbury Housewives’ Union supportedthe shop assistants in their plea for a40-hour week.
At a recent meeting of the DickensFellowship, presided over by Miss A.G. Musgrove, the evening programmearranged by Mrs W. \Dalley and MissF.

This was followed by an in-teresting lantern lecture by Mr C. H.Edgar Graham on the Dickens coun-try, where Mr Graham spent his boy-hood. The lecturer recalled hayingmet Charles Dickens near Rochesterin 1670.

HOUSES FOR TOWNTEACHERS
INSTITUTE CLAIMS NEED. URGENT
The Minister of Education (the Hon.H. G. R. Mason) has advised the NewZealand Educational Institute that inall matters of building the initiativelies with education boards, except inthe case of urban housing for teachers.“There is a certain Government policylaid down with regard to housing, andthat does not make provision for thepurchase or erection of houses forteachers in urban areas,” Mr Masonsays. “The question of extending thepolicy may later come under dis-cussion.”
The institute has now issued a state-ment that, notwithstanding the Minis-ter’s remarks, it considers ' urbanhousing for teachers just as urgent aproblem at present -as rural housingand feels that the Government shouldreconsider its policy. In a reply tothe Minister it states: “Thd differentadministrative policy at present pre-vailing in regard to urban as com-pared with rural housing has, in theopinion of the institute,, ceased to beany longer tenable. The reason is thatthe need in the former case has be-come, if not as great, almost as greatas the latter. The institute is ap-praised of many instances of the al-most insuperable difficulties thatteachers are confronted with in mov-ing to take up town positions.”
The institute has asked the Minis-ter,to meet its executive to discuss thequestion.' ■

That m one town in the south ofEngland there were living 3000 widowsof naval men, nearly all with children,Was mentioned by Mrs H. Wyatt, presl-dent Of the Women’s Auxiliary of theChristchurch Navy League, when shepresided _at the monthly meeting ofthe auxiliary held yesterday. She saidthat already in Christchurch one groupof women—members of. the NavyLeague—were knitting and sewing forthe dependents in Britain of men ofthe Navy who had lost their lives diir-ing the war, and she urged others tofollow their example, as help for thesewidows and children was a matter ofurgency. It was reported that, dur-ing October, 385 finished garments hadbeen received at the auxiliary’s woolroom, and that members had helpedwith the sale of health stamps and thestaffing of the information bureau inCathedral square. Arrangements weremade for the auxiliary’s garden partyto be held at “Daresbury,” the homeof Miss D. Humphreys, Fendalton,early in December.
The Sydenham branch of theWomen’s Christian Temperance Ufiionentertained mothers and children attheir cradle roll day held recently. Aauet was given by Mesdames FilerandWebb and items by the children.“Owing to a very severe winter anda' record snowfall, play was much in-
terrupted, and on 10 Wednesdaysmatches had to be postponed,” says theannual report of the ChristchurchLadies’ Golf Club, which will be pre-sented at the annual meeting to beheld this month. Although the num-ber of honorary members is at presentdisproportionately high, the report re-cords that four new active membershad been elected during the year, andthe profit l and loss account showed acredit balance. Matches played in aid•of the Mayoress’s parcels fund werediscontinued in recent months, andinter-club matches were played withFiussley and Hagley Clubs. The reportthanks members of the- committee ofthe Christchurch Golf Club for theirco-operation; Mr M. H. Godby, theclub’s representative on the commit-tee, for his unfailing help, and eightmembers of the club, who had givenprizes for competition during the year.

6 7^ke jis wai resumed, prices forseF ds> both certified andUIVc<r
er^lded’ mus t recede considerably.Measures for retaining the identityof New Zealand seeds were suggestedbyh^?r Skmner. He said that throughb? a capable officer on thefSS, “ d adv ®rtismg and field demon-strations the demand for New Zealandsedes both from the distributor and(a™er fhould be created andstimulated. As the retail demand InBritain was mostly for seeds for smallareas, it might be necessary to packsuch lines as certified clovers in smallbags under a Dominion brand as bras-seed was packed at present.There is room for a great deal more
pioneering work on the part of thelaiger firms where seed production isconcerned.” said Mr Skinner. “Muchcloser liaison with the Department ofAgriculture and the Department ofScientific and Industrial Research isneeded, and a fuller use of the in-formation .available from the depart-ments and the colleges and farmsunder their control. »
"The real pioneering, however, is inthe firm establishment of seed produc-tion as a basic industry that will beable to stand oh its feet through goodyears and bad. The initial step isthrough close co-operation and assist-ance to the farmer, who sows out areaswith a view to seed, production only.Just as it takes years to build up astud flock, so it will take years ofcareful management and experimenta-tion to produce both quantity andquality in the types of seeds which thiscountry is so eminently suited to pro-duce, and for which there will be amarket overseas if our r ices are com-petitive.”
PRESENT EXCHANGERATE
�MERCHANT’S CRITICISM
From Out, Own ReporteiFRANZ JOSEF GLACIER. Nov. 6.Criticism of the present exchangerate was expressed by Mr J. S. Skin-ner, president of the New ZealandCrram, Seed, and Produce Merchants’federation, in his presidential address
to the annual conference to-day Hesaid that the present rate placed ay*ls? vf,lue on the returns from NewZealand s exports, and was one of thecontributing factors, togetherwith high taxation and excessivetariff barriers, towards the high costof hying.Mr Skinner said that when pricesfor New Zealand’s primary products
tumbled during the .period Betweenthe two wars, the exchange. rate wasraised to 25 per cent, to meet the posi-tion.- If at the time those who advo-pated and were responsible for thisstep had been asked when New Zea-land would revert to parity with theBritish £, the answer would havebeen “when values of our primaryproducts returned to normal.” Thatstage was reached with meat, butter,cheese, and wool long before this war,but the position was never met, andNew Zealand still had a depreciatedcurrency.
“I realise full well that those whoproduce the. bulk of the wealth of thiscountry—the farmers—are those whobenefit most by the exchange rate,"said Mr Skinner. “My touching on thissubject may raise criticism from ourfarmer friends, but to those advocatesof. a depreciation of our currencywhenever we face a time of adversity,without immediately returning to par-ity when prices regain their formerlevel, 1 would ask what the ultimateend will be other than a currency thatis almost valueless outside the Do-minion.”
TRANSPORT POLICYCHANGE
*
MERGER COMPANIESA submission taken to indicaite-a re-
versal of the Government's policy ofencouraging transport mergers wasmade by the legal officer of the Trans-port Department (Mr R. T. Dixon) atIhe recent sitting of the No. 3 Trans-port Licensing Authority (Mr T. H.Langford) in Nelson.Mr Dixon, if was stated at the de-partment’s offices in Christchurch yes-terday, said that from the experienceof the department of private goodsservice amalgamations, it was not con-sidered in the public interest that theyshould remain in a position of beingthe sole service available in their areaor a large part of it. When the oppor-tunity arose for other services and thecompany’s stability would not be seri-ously imperilled, .the departmentthought it would often be in the pub-lic interest for other services to begranted.
Ellesmere MergerWhat is taken as a further indication
of a change in policy is the decision ofthe Transport Appeal Authority (SirFrancis Frazer) in the appeal by theCommissioner of Transport (Mr G. L.Laurenson) against the granting of 14vehicle authorities to Ellesmere Trans-,port. Ltd., at a public sitting of the No.3 Authority on September 12.
The Appeal Authority, in a decisionwhich reached Christchurch on Mon-day, contended that the company hadnot made reasonably full use of its 14vehicle authorities, and he did . notthink that the explanation given by thecompany to account for the presentcondition of its fleet was sufficient tojustify the inadequacy of the service.He was of the /opinion that the com-pany had not made out a case to justifya renewal of more than 10 vehicleauthorities. He ruled accordingly.
Ellesmere Transport, Ltd., was amerger concern that began operationstowards the end of 1939.
MURDER CHARGEACCUSED PLEADS
GUILTYSENTENCE TO LIFE
IMPRISONMENT(P-A.) AUCKLAND, November 8,In the Auckland Supreme Court thismorning Stanley Winwood McKlssickReid, aged 41, labourer and rangefltter,pleaded guilty to a charge of murderingMrs Lila WiLLtamena'Hammond, at Ota-huhu, on July 9. It was the first time aplea of guilty to a murder charge hadbeen accepted by the Crown In Auck-land.
Reid was arrested two days after thefinding of the victim's body in a wardrobeIn her home at Otahuhu. Her throat hadbeen cut. The accused was a boarder atPie house.
Mr G. Skelton, who represented Reid,told Mr Justice Callan there was nothinghe could say which could affect the sen-tence of the Court. He did, however,think it proper to say, a$ counsel for thedefence, that he was fully satisfied thatMrs Hammond was a woman of the bestpossible character, and there was nothingIn the circumstances which could. ad-versely affect her good reputation.
Mr V. R. Mesedith, for the Crown, saidthe accused had, pleaded guilty to themurder of a woman of unimpeachablecharacter, who was living on affectionateterms with her-husband and family. Thecircumstances showed no mitigating fea-ture. ■ -
Addressing the prisoner, his Honoursaid: "The law directs the course thatshall be taken and the sentence of theCourt is that you be Imprisoned and keptto hard labour for the term of yournatural life.”
SUPREME COURT�
CLAIM FOR DAMAGEShearing, of a claim by MargaretWinifred McKendry, of Christchurch, andRita May McKendry. of Methyen. fordamages of £549 38s 3d, with costs, fromHenry Fred Burdltt, a farmer, of Methven,
was continued before Mr Justice North-croft in the Supreme Court yesterday.Mr C. S. Thomas, with him Mr P. H.T. Alpers. appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr
D. W. Russell, with him Mr K. A. Gough,for defendant.
The jury which heard the opening ofthe case on Monday was dismissed byhis- Honour that afternoon because hesaid he was satisfied that there had beensome conversatipn between the defendantand a juryman during the adjournment.Counsel agreed to continue the hearingwithout a jury.
The plaintiffs set out in their state-ment of claim that they were the lessors,and the defendant was the lessee, of afarm of 258 acres in the Methven district.The lease was made for seven years fromApril 1,- 1938, and was subject to cove-nants, conditions, and restrictions con-tained in a memorandum of lease. Thedefendant, it was alleged, had failed andneglected to keep and maintain all fences,gates, and improvements then standingin good tenantable order, condition, andrepair. It was further alleged that Bur-cutt had failed and negelected to pull upmow, or destroy all thistles, docks, nettles;and other weeds growing on the. land,to cut, over-dress,and trim all live and growing hedges andfences every year, and that he had failedto stub and rot-up once every year allgorse, broom, and briar growing on theland* The plaintiffs also claimed that Bur-ditt had failed to clear plants defined inthe Public Works Act from roads adjoln-ing the land, that he had failed to farmand cultivate the farm in a proper andnusbandlike manner, and had»suffered theland to become Impoverished, and thatne had failed to clean out, at least oncea year, the ditches, watercourses, anddrains.
The defendant denied all the allegedbreaches of covenant.Continuing his evidence, John TrevorThomas, a land valuer, of Ashburton,spoke of the condition of the fences onthe farm when he made an inspection thisyear.. Evidence on the condition of the farmin May this.year was given by JamesCarr, a member of the Ashburton CountyCouncil, and a farmer in the Methvendistrict for 33 years. He said he hadbeen asked by the plaintiffs to make areport on the state of the farm. He foundthat fences which had been in fairly goodorder four years before had deteriorated.He considered the farm had “gone back"the .,l, ast
,three years, particularly Inthe paddocks on the western side. Anew tenant would have to spend a con-siderable amount of money to put thefarm in order.
Evidence for the defence was given byBurdltt, Francis David Geddes, a farmer,of .Methven. and Henry Edward Garrett,a valuer and farm supervisor attachedto the Canterbury Agricultural College,Lincoln. 0
-Witnesses for the defence contendedthat, if anything, the farm had beenimproved slightly during Burditt’s ' ten-?n Sy,
,.
an“ *hat Burditt's farming practiceshad been efficient.Oh- the application of Mr Thomas, hisHonour agreed to inspect the property.The hearing was adjourned until nextTuesday, when counsel will address theCourt.

WELL BACK ,
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright)I°. P-m.) MELBOURNE, Nov. 5.Streaking away over the final, furlong,

the three-year-old, Leonard.Rainbird thus' made amends completelyfor her defeat in the Caulfield Cup, turn->
t?e tables on St. Fairy, who finishedonly fourth to-day. The jockey. W. Cook,rode a perfect race on Rainbird, havingher in the first eight all the way andwaiting until well Into the straight be-fore asking her for an effort. Inside thelast furlong; just when Silver Link hadthe others beaten. Rainbird- dashed totne front and went to the post in greatstyle in a time three seconds faster thanthat of Sirus last year.
The New Zealand horse,. Typhoon,dragged from his blazing stables lastnight, did not start In the Cup. He ap-peared to be none the worse for hisexperience when exercised at Caulfieldthis morning, but he would not eat hisbreakfast, so his owner (Mr A. Preston)withdrew him. The scratching of Typhoonremoved some "inter-Dominion” interest,but after such an upsetting experiencethe owner wisely took the course of notasking his horse to run the severe twom beheved that a short-cir-‘n the electric wiring started the firem the stables.

TROTTING NOTESAddington Track-work
Loyal Friend showed that his Cup racehad not affected him by making the pace,for Burt Scott over a mile and a quarterin 2min 39sec. He covered the first twofurlongs in Slsec, the "half-mile in Imin3 4-ssec, six furlongs in Imin 35 2-ssec,and the mile in 2mln 6 l-ssec.
T. D. Paterson, Hinds, was. one of theearly workers with Believe Me, whichtook 3min 26 2-Ssec for a mile and a half.
Cameronian covered a mile and a halfin 3min 26 .3-ssec. His trainer, L. O.Thomas, stated after the work-out thatthe U, Scott gelding did not appear tobe moving as freely .as usual, and thathe was disappointed with his recentraces.
Mae Wynne (C. Berkett) and Safari (L.Berkett) were given strong work overtwo miles, the last half taking Imin 92-ssec.
Charles Rex (unhoppled) paced PlaySafe over a mile and a half In 3minISsec.
-Grattan Bells gave Jill, Cinchona, andTerry O'Shea up to two seonds’ startover a mile, and beat them home in 2min12seo. All the pacers are engaged In theLightning Handicap, and were worked insaddle.
Foremost Junior, Communique. SpecialForce, Direct Medium, and Sir Michaelworked over a mile and a half in 3min24 l-ssec. Sir Michael was giving awaya start, and he was separately timed tocover the first half-mile in Imin 9 4-5sec, the mile in 2min 16 l-ssec, and themile and a half in 3min 20 l-ssec. TheWellington Stakes winner is in splendidorder, and he should be at his best onDerby Day.
Sure Lady made the pace for HighlandFling over two miles in 4min 40sec. thelast four furlongs in Imin 6sec.• After covering the first mile and ahalf in 3mhv> 26sec, Technique and Par-shall covered two miles in 4mln 33sec.Chinook covered the last half-mile ofhis work-out in Imin 6sec t After makinga false start,- Blaekdale trotted a mile anda half iq 3mln 28 3-ssec, the mile taking2mln 24sec.
Strummer was given strong work, buthe did" not appear to hit out with hisusual freedom.Not His Fault
Bulldozer's mistake in the Empire Han-dicap was caused by another competitorputting his foot through his sulky wheel.Neat Filly
Scholarship, which is trained for MessrsA L. Matson and C. S. Thomas by R. J.Humphreys, Is a neat filly, and appears tobe endowed with the family speed. ByGrattan Loyal she is from Oxford Queen,all of whose -progeny have been winners.Harold Logan
At a clearing sale at Mr E. F. C. Hinds’sproperty at Sefton on Monday, the one-time champion pacer, Harold Logan, wasparaded before the assemblage. He looksin robust condition in spite of teethtrouble.Begins Quickly
The Te Rapa horseman. M. Stewart,has been engaged to ride BarometerChimes in the Lightning Handicap. ThisWrack horse won three races in the earlypart of last season, but he was under acloud for some months, and did not raceBarometer Chimes appeared certain to beplaced in the S. G. Holmes Handicap atMethven, but he stumbled about 50 yardsfrom the post, and finished out of themoney. Barometer Chimes is a quick be-ginner, and he is capable of springinga surprise In this race.Trotted Solidly
After being slow away in the SpringHandicap, Benghazi trotted solidly tomake up a lot of ground and was eighthto cross the line at the • finished. TheWrack gelding has three firsts and afourth placing to his credit in his lastfour starts, and if he makes a smoothbeginning, he should be hard to beat offthe front of the Holmwood Handicap onFriday. r
Chance DriveThe winning drive behind Bonny Clare
was a chance drive for P. p. Gallagherin the Riccarton Stakes, and it is re-ported that two drivers rejected the op-portunity before he was asked. Beyondthe casual warning to look out as thefilly was inclined to kick, Gallagher knewnothing about his charge; and he waspleasantly surprised when she began rea-sonably well, after drawing seventeenthposition at the barrier, and took up agood position early. She was not troubledover the final stages to win nicely by-half a length from Local Gold, withNelaonova another head away. The Wash-dyke trainer has been very successfulin saddle races, and It is unfortunate thathis mount, Jeeyes, was withdrawn fromthe Lightning Handicap, as his horseman-ship would have been an object lessonfor some of the less experienced riders.Unlucky Runner
According to O. E. Hooper, the driverof Haughty, this mare was the unluckyrunner in the Trotting Cup, as he hadnot asked her for a final effort whenshe became entangled with the breakingHappy Man and finished up with a footthrough his wheel. Haughty Is engagedIn the New Zealand Pacing Free-for-allthis week, and if she has suffered no 111-effects as the result of the mishap sheshould be assured of earning some ofthe money. Haughty’s only win last sea-son was In the August Pacing Free-for-all at the Metropolitan Trotting Club’smeeting last year, when she defeatedBronzle Eagle-by a length in 2min 38 1-5sec. Gold Bar, which was the earlyleader in this race, finished fifth.Will Win Races
. Mr J. H. Parsons's filly. Local Gold,proved little inferior to the best of thetwo-year-olds last season by gainingthree second placings In classic races, andshe was again unfortunate In striking asmart filly In Bonny Clare and beingbeaten by half a length in the RiccartonStakes.In Good ■ Order
Driven by her trainer. A. F. C. Rush-ton, Lady Scott was given strong workover two miles yesterday, and she pleased-by trotting the last half-mile In easyfeec. The U. Scott mareshowed good form earlier in the seasonwhen she competed against the pacers inthe Improvers’ Handicap at the NewBrighton Trotting Club’s meeting lastmonth to finish third to Galvena (whichhas since gone on to win two more races)and Sandstone. Lady Scott has done a lot
°£ and she should be prominentall the way in the Avon Handicap on Fri-day.Owners’ and Breeders’ Association
Members of the Canterbury Owners’and Breeders’ Association are remindedthat the annual meeting is to be heldin the association's rooms this evening at7.30. _g
TURF GOSSIPTrack Work at Riccarton
The trial grass track was open at Ric-carton yesterday, but because of its hardsurface most of the galloping before thebreakfast interval was done on the plough,which had been liberally watered over-night. AH of the grass tracks have be-come very firm, and a fall of rain wouldbe appreciated by most trainers.On the Plough..
Erratum ran five furlongs in Imin 3sec,the last four in 51 2-ssec, and his stable-mate Fearless went over the same groundin Imin 2 2-ssec, the last four in 492 'ssec. Koa Manu followed in imin 3sec,the last three, in 38sec, and Foreign Waysand Pandosto took Imin 4sec, the lastthree in 37 4-ssec. Kernel and BaileyBridge recorded Imin psec, the last threein 38 3-ssec. The latter is by Kinnoullfrom Stourbridge Fair, and is trained byR. Register for Mr D. Grant.Scotch Tweed ran five furlongs in Imin2 3-ssec, the last three in 37 4-ssec, andNurnle did a similar task in imin 3 1-Ssec,the last three in 38 l-ssec.Over Six Furlongs
The best, gallop over six furlongs wascredited to Racket, which beat Chain in,Imin 15 2-ssec, the first three in 36 3-ssec.Racket is a much improved .filly,John o’ London was half a length infront of- Authentic at the end of six. fur-longs in Imin 17 2-ssec, the first threein 3B 3-ssec.
Other six furlong gallops included:—Thornbridge Imin ISsec, the first threein 38 l-ssec; Irish Note, Imin 17 4-ssec,the first three .in 38 3-ssec; Olga’s Choiceand Montello d’Or, Imin 17sec, the firstthree in 38 2-ssecJ Avoribridge, a lengthin front of Double Cross, Imin 17sec, thefirst three in 37sec; Ration, Imin 17 2-ssec,the first three in 38 2-ssec; Outflank andNightstalk. Imin 18 4-ssep; Belle Leonne,Imin M ,4-ssec; and Finalist and Abduc-tion. Imin 19 3-ssec.
Lord Advocate and Bittersweet coveredsix furlongs In Imin 16 2-ssec, the secondthree In 37sec, with the former going thebetter at the finish.■ Competitor galloped seven furlongs inImin 29 4-ssec, the first four in 51 l-ssec.Major Argosy, with his trainer in thesaddle, ran over seven furlongs in Imin
33 2-ssee. Sanskrit took Imin 26 2-ssec.Palfrey and .Miss Medley were bothrestricted to a strong round.Benbecula finished clear 6f Montezuma
at the end of nine furlongs in Imin 554-ssec. the first four furlongs taking 49l-ssee, and last four S4sec. Benbecula’swork was impressive. ■ -
Burberry showed his usual smartnessby sprinting half a mile in 48 l-ssec, thelast three in 35 3-ssec.On the Grass
Golden Souvenir and Silver Sal werecompanions over seven furlongs In Imin35sec, the last four in 53sec, The formerwas well bandaged behind, but movedfreely. .Privilege and Flora sprinted half a mile
in 50 4-ssec, and Full Moon' and CloudSong followed in 51 2i6sec.Vafort strode over a mile In Imin 433-ssec, and his stable-mate Piccolo waslet off with an easy six furlongs, the lastfour taking 53sec. -
A Probable CauseBeau Cheval is at present on the easylist. A veterinary examination has re-vealed that 1he has been suffering from aruptured side muscle, which has probablybeen the cause of his boring tactics inrecent races. He is now under treatment,
and is expected to be soon back in seri-ous work.. ■Cup Candidates at Napier
The four New Zealand Cup candidateswhich raced on the opening day of theNapier Park meeting did not create theimpression that any One of theth mightsucceed In the cup later in the month,states the “Dominion,” Wellington. Thebest effort was that of Catteriek Bridge,but It took him too long to beat. off avery moderate horse in Jonathan Jo, ata difference of only a pound and a half.United Nations, ridden by W. Broughton,was a firm favourite, but she failed badly.She came into favour is a light-weightpossibility for the New Zealand Cup afterher outstanding win with 9-6 in the Here-tfiunga Hack Handicap at the Wellingtonspring meeting. Her Napier effort washer next appearance after Trentham.United Nations has had a fairly busy 12months, having raced 20 times since lastsummer. In many.of them over middledistances under solid, weights. It.ls there-fore likely that she is beginning to feelthe strain. In Saturday’s race she wastaken up Into a handy position behindthe leaders about half a mile from home,but did not respond well when her ridercalled on her in the last two furlongs.She would have to do a good deal betterto have any prospects of winning a raceat Riccarton.Disappointing Efforts *
Neither Glenfalloch nor Capronella wasa strong challenger at any stage of thePark Stakes. Glenfalloch was very sourat the post and refused to do his best.Glenfalloch was third in last year’s NewZealand Cup. He has seldom lookedbrighter or in better order than he isat present, but he Is not racing as gener-ously hs he did a year ago, Capronellawon the Park Stakes last year and, afterher excellent run In the Wellington Han-dicap last month, appeared to have goodprospects of repeating the win on Satur-day, blit she ran a lifeless race and therewas no dash in her finishing run.At Awapuni
Flying Orders, the property of Mr W.Qiilrke. of Palmerston North, Is now be-ing trained by G. New. He has beenheavily supported In the three races hehas contested for his new owner, but hasfailed to gain a place. New Intends tohave a strong team to represent him atthe New Zealand Victory Clip meeting,
including Broiefleld, Dileas, Swift Jay,Tremello, Indra, and Theolyn.

Judgment In ClaimThe Arbitration Court in a recent judg-
ment refused to impose a penalty in aclaim by Alexander Shaw, Inspector ofAwards at Christchurch, in a claim againstL. A. Woodward, Ltd., for a breach of theBakers’ and Pastrycooks’ Award. The basisof the claim was that the defendants em-ployed three men as bakers’ labourers anddid not pay the minimum rate of wagesprovided for in the award.
In giving judgment. Mr Justice Tyndallsaid the Court held the opinion that therenad been a breach of the award, but astht action was taken by the inspectorprimarily to obtain an interpretation ofthe award, no,penalty would be imposed.

ROYAL LIFE-SAVING *
SOCIETY
CANTERBURY BRANCHA proposal that the Canterbury branchof the Royal Life-saving Society considerissuing a publicity booklet several timesa year to. stimulate interest in life-savingwas made at a meeting of the commit-tee of the branch. Misses D. Brown VStewart, and Mr C. F. Barnett were ap-pointed to examine the proposal. Dis-cussion was promoted when 'a letter was
received enclosing copies of a ' bookletbeing published by the South Australianbranch of the society.Dr, A. E. Fieldhouse said that boys didwell in life-saving when they were atschool, but after leaving, their interestslackened, and something like the bookletwas wanted to direct their interests.That a bulletin be published three timesa year was suggested by the chairman(Mr M. E. Lyons). ■The provision of shields to be competedfor by pupils of primary schools was men-tioned by Miss Brown.Mr Lyons said that if instruction inlife-saving was given to children whilethey were still at primary schools a use-
ful field might be tapped.The main thing was to get the bulk ofteachers interested, said Mr E. F. Davi-
son.The suggestion was left in abeyance.Instruction by films was brought up by
Mr J. Teal, who said that the ■ time hadcome when the branch should have a filmillustrating the club’s own methods oflife-saving.
Miss Brown said that the GovernmentFilm Unit would make a film as soon assupplies of film were available.The following officers were appointed:—vice-chairman, Mr C. F. Barnett; execu-
tive committee. Misses O. Hobson, V.Brown, E. Harris, Messrs S. Nicoll and R.Ayling; delegates - to Canterbury Councilof Sport, Miss V. Stewart and Mr S.Nicoll: chief instructor and examiner, MrJ. Breward. ■
Twenty-two examiners were also ap-pointed.

N.Z. INDUSTRIALRELATIONS
EMPLOYERS ANDEMPLOYEES
URGENCY OF PROBLEMEMPHASISED
In the last 12 months, organisedand industry have madeuttle advance in the important field of
employer-employee relations,” said MrL. A. Eady ( Auckland) at the Domin-r^_K onfere?c = of the Associated'Chambers of Commerce in Christ-church, “To say that there is needn°rAhi»rgen?y - in dealinS with thisproblem of industrial relations is noexaggeration.
™lPr^-enVrends.
are significant Inone direction, there appears whatseems a determined effort to worsenrelations and to create a greater cleav-age between employer and employee.In recent issues of a certain press ap-peared such headlines as ‘Employers’Insolence Leading to Crisis,’ ‘Employ-ers Lead an Offensive on WorkingConditions,’ ‘Cut the Pay. They Did1f
>tct? eivf >re;’ Afair>st Vested Inter-im?JJust^ust i? e Carried On.’ and so on.Whatever the political purpose actuat-ing such journalistic technique, theeffect on all concerned cannot but bedeplored Be that as it may, it isneedful that we be- realistic in our ap-proach to one of the most vital prob-lems affecting our community. A solu-£!°n JPust f3? found—and that soon—-°

Mr Eady said that organised com-merce and industry and trade unionstogether had a clear-cut obligation tothe community as a whole, in the ful-filment of an economic and efficientservice. To this extent, it was laidupon both capital and labour intereststo achieve co-operation. Goodwill andco-operation between employer andemployee might only be gained whentheir respective viewpoints wereunderstood and their mutual interestsrecognised. Present-day conditions andtrends were a clear challenge to mas-ters and men. collectively and individ-ually. Organised commerce and in-dustry should assume the initiative inpressing for the achievement of an in-dustrial democracy.
Four Key PrinciplesMr Eady added that key factors inthe improvement of industrial rela-tionships were: (1) recognition by all
engaged in industry of the interdepen-dence pf employer and employee; (2)the promotion of co-operation betweenmanagement and men; (3) the growthof a truly sincere sense of partnershipby the provision of participation in-centives, whereby workers woulddirectly benefit from improved resultsof their labour and efficiency; and (4)the creation of a keen interest on thepart of workers in the problems andprogress of the industries in whichthey were engaged, and on the part ofemployers in the welfare of their em-ployees.
Mr A. J. Parris (South Canterbury)said that most of the unrest in indus-try to-day was among men who hadnot full-time employment. The big-ger the concern, the less personal con-tact there was between employee andemployer. In the bigger companiesthere was not the same good feelingbetween employer and employee as insmall concerns.
It was necessary to emphasise thatthe relationship between employer andemployee in New Zealand was excep-tionally good, said Mr M. G. C. Mc-Caul (Wellington). Of course, onefound bad employers and bad em-ployees, just as one found bad indi-viduals in a community.
Mutual ReciprocityThe whole background of employer-
employee relations must be one ofmutual reciprocity, said Mr F. Wilson(Wellington). On the one side, em-ployers considered unit-costs, and onthe other the employee consideredtime-reward. A system was wanted inwhich all gave of their best, and thatresult was most to be expected from asystem of expanding opportunity.
Mr J. R. Dench (Canterbury) con-tended that employer-employee rela-tionships were primarily matters forattention in individual cases. Indus-try would always have the seasonalwork problem.
The conference carried the follow-ing remit; “That in order to implementthe decision of the 1944 conference re-garding the improvement of employer-employee relationships, the executiveconfer at the earliest opportunity withemployer. organisations. \ 'th a viewto the preparation of comprehensiveproposals for ‘discussion with em-ployee organisations, and that this con-ference urges constituent chambers tostudy'the papers already developed onemployer-employee relationships, andthat they advise their members to ap-ply such principles as suit their parti-cular types of business."

Miss Trerise had been withthe company for eight years. The appealwas dismissed.
Gilbert Frederick Roberts, who appealedagainst refusal to terminate his employ-ment with the Christchurch. TramwayBoard, said that he had been with theboard for 19 years. At the present timehe was a motorman, but had no prospecto£ promotion because of a defective knee.He wished to take up market gardening.Permission was given him to terminatehis employment ar December 15.Other decisions were given as follows;Hutchinson Motors, Ltd., against direc-tion of Thelma C.

Lascelles during the hearingby the Industrial Manpower Committeelast week of an appeal by John WalterVivian, against refusal of permission toterminate his employment with the Rail-ways Department at the Addington Work-shops. Mr Lascelles appeared for theappellant, who agreed that the statementmade was correct. Mr L. H. Brough,representing the Railways Department,said that he would like to contradict thestatement which, he said, was incorrect.
“I want you to feel that I have notmade- this as a bald statement withoutfoundation,” replied Mr Lascelles; whoadded that he could call as witnesses othermen employed at the workshops. Theappeal was allowed, termination to takeeffect from November 30. 1945.

“DEAR BRUTUS”*
PERFORMANCE BY COMMUNITYCENTRE
“Dear Brutus,” a comedy by J. M.Barrie, was ably presented by mem-bers of the Drama Group of ,:e Papa-nui Community Centre in the PapanuiMemorial Hall on Monday evening.The theme of the play, the possi-bility of a second chance in life,is not an easy subject to treatconvincingly, and it is greatly tothe credit of the producer (MissMarjorie Bassett), and the players,that the atmosphere of eeriness as wellas of whimsical humour, was sustainedsuccessfully throughout.
A specially pleasing performancewas given by Lavina Bobbitt, whoseinterpretation of the character of AliceDearth was intelligent and sensitive.A finely restrained performance wasgiven by Herbert Burrows as WillDearth, and Margaret Donaldson wasattractive as Margaret. Special creditshould be given to Patricia Robinson,who capably took the part of MabelPurdie after only one week’s practice.V. Kettle, as Lob, the man whoseuncanny influence was responsible forthe other characters seeking therealms of fantasy, also gave a goodperformance. Terence Cutler, whogained confidence as the play proceed-ed, was responsible for much of thehumour, as also were Ernest Bastion,who played the part of Mr Coade, andDavid Law. as Matey. Jocelyn Kersley,Adelaide Hutchens, and Ettie Donald-son, as Joanna. Lady Caroline Laney,and Mrs Coade respectively, alsoshowed themselves to be players ofpromise who should improve withfurther experience.
Nigel Robinson, Robert Mahalm.Frank Netting, and Jack Banks werethe stage managers. The scenery wasarranged by T and G. Culter. and thelighting by Norman Hatherley.

THE GROUP 1945EXHIBITION
� .Considering the more outstandingfeatures of the Group 1945 exhibitionnow on view at Ballantyne’s. one is
immediately prompted to notice thepaintings of Douglas McDiarmid. Hisexceptional promise as well as the in-equalities of his work make him in-teresting. His “Christchurch UnderSnow,” “Convent Hill, Taihape,” “Al-and “Plains from the Bell-bird” are .already complete achieve-ments. It is not surprising that thereare technical defects in his other can-vases, since he has only been paintingfor a short time; he fails to make fulluse of perspective and give the eyerest on ampler rhythms in his fore-grounds and tends to break up hiscompositions into a monotonousequalityof parts. There is something verymoving about the figures in his “Al-legory”; but what is gained by theflighty, surrealist stance of the opendoor? Mr McDiarmid has vision: thecapacity to see what' is unique andmoving in a subject, and to give itexpression. He already does this bestwhere he is most explicit, and hisneeds in the future are to preserve hisvision and improve his own technique;it will be a pity if he turns aside toacquire the style of Salvator Dali.
The work of another guest exhibitorwhich compels attention by its vitalityand purpose is the sculpture of OttyBinswanger. All four pieces are aliveand individual, and her grasp of char-acter is evident in the contrast ofmoods between her “Head of aProphet” and her “Study of a Head.”In the context of style one mustmention Rita Cook, whbse recentwatercolour landscapes have given usso much delight. One feels that sheis less happy in the Oriental mannerof her “Spring” and “Winter” water-colours. Only technical idiosyncraciesarising from the faithful effort to ex-press perception constitute a truestyle; to have Japanese perceptions,presumably, one would have to. beJapanese. Her flower studies in thisexhibition are exquisite.
One feels that Leo Bensemann—-though his "Portrait of M.8.” is deli-cate and pleasing—might advance' bya less prejudiced approach. ■ Almostall texture is lost in his flned-downsurfaces—a pity, as the addition of tex-ture might greatly enrich his decora-tivepatterns. A decorator, and a pureone, is Dorothy Manning; here is atalent which might be used with re-markable effect in pottery or textiles.
Olivia Spencer-Bower shpws the re-cent development of her talent in hersimple but subtle composition; “Har-mony.” Margaret Anderson’s “Risingsholme” is a pleasing and sensitivepiece of work; and there is an appeal-ing freshness about the “Head of Very-ana,” by Evelyn Page.
The inspiration of' M. T. Woollastoncannot escape notice: it is so ephe-meral, apparently, theft, he has to aban-don his sketches as soon as—one some-times wishes it were before—he hasbegun them. He has a mild talent forproducing an air of mystery in com-positions which avoid the use of pri-mary colours. J. A. Johnstone, A. H.McLintock, Cora Wilding, FrederickShewell, and the late Sydney Smithshow interesting and conscientiouswork. —M.B.
APPRENTICES’ WAGES�
ENGINEERING TRADE DISPUTE(P.A.) WEI 'NGTON, November 5.
About 1000 members of the engineer-ing and related trades held a stop-workmeeting to-day and passed several reso-lutions arising out of tke employers’opposition to the retrospective paymentof increases in apprentices' wages, toApril 1 last. They recommended that,failing the national council being ableto reach agreement with the employerson this issue, direct action be institutedthroughout New Zealand by a national“go slow” policy, of by calling a strikeif necessary, and that ; a - deputation,organised by the national council, waiton the Acting-Minister of Labour (theHon. J. O’Brien) to ask him to speedup decisions of the Arbitration Court.
It was stated that in conciliation pro-ceedings in Christchurch, the em-ployers did not disagree with the pro-posal that payments should go back toApril 1. but disagreed regarding theprogressive percentages to be paid.
PALMERSTON NORTHRESOLUTION
'(P.A.) PALMERSTON NORTH, Nov. 5A stop-work meeting of the Palm-erstorf North branch of the Engineers'Union resolved that: “In view of theunjust treatment accorded the apprentices, and the action of employers' as-sociations in opposing retrospectivepayment of increases in wages to ap-prentices to April 1, failing thenational council being able to reachagreement with the employers, directaction be instituted throughout NewZealand to enforce & settlement of thejust claims of apprentices."
DISCOVERY OF ATOMICPOWER
�SPIRITUAL AND ECONOMIC i
IMPLICATIONSThe econohuc and spiritual implica-
tions of the discovery of atomic powerwere discussed by Mr N. S. Jenkin, inan address to members of the Canter-bury branch of the Economic ReformClub and Institute last evening. MrJenkin outlined the immense possibili-ties in the use of atomic power forthe benefit of mankind, and said thatindustry, freed from the strangeholdof the present financial system;' wouldbe revolutionised by atomic power.
Mr Jenkin drew a picture of an idealworld with mankind freed fromdrudgery and the grinding anxiety ofthe struggle for existence, and settledin the most ideal surroundings withpeace both outside and within himself.There would be machines to do all thelabour, and man would be truly themaster of his life with freedom andopportunity to turn his attention toknowledge, culture, and the arts. Thiswas the picture given by the combina-tion of financial reform and atomicpower.
The spiritual implications of atomicpower and an age of leisure were de-scribed by Mr Jenkin, who claimedthat without the shifting to a spiritualplane of man's motive in life andwithout a logical, intelligible, and com-plete philosophy to support thatchanged motive, man, in an age ofleisure, would be morally lost.

The PressWEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1945.
Railways StatementThe Railways Statement shows that
j the year’s operations were affectedby a large fall in passenger traffic,chiefly military, by floods, by strikes,and by the shortage of coal. In ad-jdition, costs were increased by theRailways Tribunal wage awards andby the use of greater quantities ofcertain supplies at higher prices.The General Manager in his reporthas paid close attention to the coalproblem, showing that the injury torailway service is not wholly rep-resented in the restrictions on trainrunning and in their effect on grossand net revenue. An analysis intabular form indicates that the con-sumption of coal for every engine-mile and for every haul in ton-miles has increased as the propor-tion of soft coal used has increased,most notably in the last year or so,when more open-cast coal has hadto be used. Mr Sawers has no doubt,and permits no doubt, that “ efficient‘‘ an<i economic working ” has beenimpaired by the necessity to usemore soft coal and coal of inferiorquality. The Minister of Railways,the Hon. R. Semple, referring tothese facts, says that no “ appreci-able ” improvement is to bo ex-pected this year. If the Railways'Statement is discussed in the House Iof Representatives as it should be,this is a point upon which the Act-ing-Minister for Mines should bepressed. The Hon. P. C. Webb re-peatedly spoke during the war ofplans to'increase the effective labourforce in the mines. What has beenwanting has been any report ofprogress. It is time that the Houseand the country learned what hasbeen done, or left undone, and why,when the General Manager wrote,the stocks in his yards, 11,000 tons,were one-seventh of what theywere in the war year 1941—lessthan a week’s average consumption.But problems that may prove moreobstinate, in the end, than coal areapparent in the statement. One ofthem appears in the figures relatingto the capital cost of the railways.Between 1942 and 1945 the length ofopen tracks has been increased by114 miles. They have dost £56,500a mile. The average cost of opentracks in 1931 was £18,226; in 1932,after about £10,000,000 of the capi-tal- cost of branch lines had beenwritten off the department’s books,it was £15,513. The cost of the newlines, between . £6,000,000 and£ 7,000,000, has already lifted theover-all average by 25 per -cent, to£20,364 a mile. There is no indica-tion in the statement that thegravity of these figures is appreci-ated. In the year under review, netrevenue, 53 per cent, less than theprevious year at £1,199,500, failedto cover interest charges(£2,842,400) by £1,642,900. In the
record-breaking year,when net revenue exceeded£2,500,000, it was £200,000 short ofthe interest charges. (In 1943annus mirabilis—though grossrevenue was less, net revenue washigher and showed a surplus of£200,000.) In the current year, ac-cording to the Minister, increasedroad traffic will terjd to depressrailways revenue but increased pro-duction (“it is felt”) will steadyit; on the other hand, ‘increasedwages and salaries will send costsup “sharply,” so that net revenuewill fall to about £600,000. Thedeficiency, then, will rise to
so. And the o iy sug-gestion that such deficiencies areunhealthy ■ and ought to be cor-rected is the unconstructive one thatfares and freights, but for stabilisa-tion, might have been raised. Thecountry needs cheaper transport, notdearer; and the payment of subsi-dies, in the form of tax, levies tocover interest charges, is just as ob-jectionable as an increased pas-senger and goods tariff. If theGovernment’s policy has been pur-sued In the belief, deliberately ac-cepted, that it must result in asystem based on high rates or bigsubsidies, the belief should be con-fessed now.
Britain’s Motor-CarIndustry
The prospect before the Britishmotor-car industry is* on the surveygiven last week by the vice-chair-man of Morris Motors, Ltd., Sir*Miles .Thomas, a gloomy one. Thepent-up export demand is such thatthe industry’s whole output forthree months will be absorbed. But,he added, the industry is in a worseposition to-day to meet Americancompetition than it was before thewar; and “ after the extreme hunger‘"for cars is satisfied in the Do-“minion markets, it is problematical“ if British cars will continue to sell“ on oversea markets at, the current“prices.” Before the war the Britishindustry'was not in a strong posi-tion to meet American competition.As Mr Bevin told the House ofCommons some months ago, “The“ cost of a motor-car in the United“ States, per pound weight—at three“times the wages—is 9d a pound“on the basis of 1938 prices; in this“country it is Is 4d." To-day thecomparison has moved more sharplyagainst Britain. One cause of thischange for the worse stands outclearly, British steel before the warcost 5 to 10 per cent, less thanAmerican steel. To-day it costsabout 10 per cent, more than Ame-rican steel—an increase thatreflects the war-time failure ofBritain’s coal industry. It takes twotons of coal to make a ton of steel;and the pithead price of coking coalhas risen since early 1939 from 16s5d to 35s lOd a ton in Yorkshireand from 18s 8d to 38s Id a ton inDurham. Even so, steel prices havenot risen in proportion—-the cost isonly 36 per cent, higher than in1938—and steel represents only afraction of the cost of producing amotor-car. Steel prices alone can-not explain why British cars arenow priced, in England and exclud-ing the purchase tax, 65 per cent,to 70 per cent, above the pre-warlevels. The explanation is one thatSir Stafford Cripps’s tripartite com-mittees would do well to seek.

MR W. J. JORDAN—
WEEK-END VISIT TOCHRISTCHURCH
The Mayor of Christchurch (Mr E.p- Andrews) announced yesterday thatMr W. J. Jordan, New Zealand HighCommissioner in London, who is nowhaving a holiday in the Dominion, willvisit Christchurch next Friday re-maining until Monday.
Mr Andrews said that as Friday. Sat-urday. and Sunday were all holidavs[or the greater part of the city it hadbeen decided to tender a civic recep-tion to Mr Jordan at noon on Monday,provided his departure by air could bepostponed from the morning to the‘afternoon.
Mr Andrews said he regretted thatthe arrangements made by the Depart-ment of Internal Affairs for MrJordan’s visit would not enable a civicreception to be given until just beforehis departure, but no other course wasopen. He was sure the citizens ofChristchurch would not wish to missthe opportunity of expressing, at a pub-lic reception, their appreciation of MrJordan’s work as High Commissioner.
FUTURE OF AEROCLUBS——�
GOVERNMENT’S POLICYSTILL NOT KNOWN
NUMBER OF TIGER MQTUSAVAILABLE
,
Although 15 Tiger Moth aeroplanesbeing reconditioned will be available toaero clubs (Canterbury to have one)as ‘ gift” machines to replace thosetaken by the Government in 1939, theclubs are still without any further in-dication of the Government's policy onthe future of the clubs.
This information was suppliedthrough the secretary of the Canter-bury -Aero Club (Mr P. Pw. Climie) yes-terday. He said that he had heard fromthe president of the Royal New Zea-land Aero Club a few days ago that theMinister still did not know the Govern-ment’s intentions, or else declined todisclose anything, the position beingvery frustrating to the clubs.
Mr Climie said that the presidentstated that the Air Secretary, in pre-paring an estimate of the number ofTiger Moths required by the clubs, hadincluded four for Canterbury in addi-tion to the one gift machine, thoughCanterbury would not be obliged totake the machines. Canterbury wouldalso not be victimised by its decisiondeclining to submit an estimate of re-quirements, as the Air Secretary rea-lised that the uncertainty of what layahead made it difficult fop the clubs togauge their needs.
Mr Climie said that aero clubs, withthe.war ended, were anxious to resumeactivities as soon as possible, and theirmembership had increased - sub-stantially, especially with numbers ofmembers formerly in the AirForce. The absence of a Governmentpolicy statement, however, made, itdifficult for the clubs to proceed evenwith' domestic arrangements.
The Canterbury Aero Club did notknow for sure if it would be permittedto carry on flying activities at Hare-wood or would have to find a new aero-drome. Even the City Council, ownersof the aerodrome before it wss takenover by the Air Department during thewar, had no definite advice as to whatwas to happen.
Mr Climie said he had had lettersfrom other clubs, indicating the samelack of any specific information onwhich they could base plans for a re-,sumption of flying.
INTERNEES INSHANGHAI
�SALVATION , ARMY
LEADERSAdvice has been received by Miss L.M, Wilkinson, of Christchurch, thatColoneland Mrs Arthur Ludbrook. whowere formerly in charge of the Salva-
tion Army in North China, and whowere interned in Shanghai for morethan three years, are now safe and well.Mrs_ Ludbrook is a former resident ofChristchurch, and is a sister of MissWilkinson.■ rs *- tetter received from themin Christchurch. Colonel and Mrs Lud-brook say that it was exactly twomonths after the cessation of hostil-ities—on October 15—before they wereable to leave the internment camp.Things have moved very slowly hereand many people ara still in camp.”-theletter continues. “The Australian Gov-ernment went ahead and opened ahostel for its people. It also offeredaccommodation to New Zealanders, so?rer? .are at the Southern CrossHostel, Kiukiang road, Shanghai. Howwonderful it is to be here. too. aftercamp, with nicely prepared meals, aroom to ourselves, and also a bathroom.It is central, too. and this means ‘agreat deal from a business standpoint.Our camp—Lunghua—was an hour'smotor ride from Shanghai, over a very-rough road, and it was exceedinglytiring to undertake the journey to andfrb.
“Yesterday (October 18). a New Zea-land representative flew from HongKong and visited us here. He wasBrigadier Clifton, and he informed usthat New Zealanders were to be ac-corded the same privileges as Aus-tralians, so we are here on our ownmerit as well as by .the courtesy of theAustralians. To-morrow, therefore, wewill be collecting £lO. which is a gifttowards preparation for repatriation,whether we are leaving immediately ornot. The Australian Red Cross hasalso given gifts of clothing to all Alliedinternees. These have been very ac-ceptable. as everything was of a verynice quality, and was worth having.
“The Chinese have carried on verycourageously, and have preserved theSalvation Army work (on a smallerscale than formerly, of course) duringthese two years and a half. Up north,the situation is rather chaotic and com-munications are disrupted. Travellingis difficult, and railway lines seem tobe cut. . . . Shanghai is such a terribleplace of unhelpful influences that wehope we are not delayed here too long.’*

INCIDENT IN THEHOUSE
Mr Broadfoot AskedTo Leave ChamberAPOLOGY LATER
ACCEPTED(P.A.) WELLINGTON, November 6.
Leisurely discussion of the Estimateswas interrupted in the House of Rep-resentatives this evening by an un-usual scene, resulting in the Chair-man of Committees (Mr R. McKeen)alleging defiance of the Chair by MrW. J. Broadfoot (Opposition, Wai-tomo), with the result that MrSpeaker was summoned. Mr Broadfootwas requested to Withdraw from thechamber. This he did, but the inci-dent was settled by Mr Broadfoot’ssubsequent return and expression ofregret.
The matter arose when Mr Broad-foot, speaking to an item of £73,000for remuneration of land sales com-mittees under the lands and surveyvote, began to discuss a case beforethe Land Sales Court. Mr Broadfootasked what was the maximum amountadvanced to a returned serviceman bythe Rehabilitation Department.
Mr McKeen ruled that Mr Broad-loot was out of order, as the mattershould have been raised on the pre-vious vote—rehabilitation,
Mr Broadfoot resumed his seat, butrose again to say he would not he putdown by the Chairman. He was thereas a member to bring up such mat-ters.
Mr McKeen said if Mr Broadfootpersisted in that attitude he wouldhave to ask him to withdraw from thechamber.
Mr Broadfoot; You’can'do what youuke about it. I can leave thechamber.
Mr Broadfoot then sat down.Mr McKeen said he did not want tocreate a scene, but the member couldnot proceed on those lines, but hisruling could be challenged.The Leader of the Opposition (Mr
S G. Holland) said they did not wantany misunderstandings, and suggestedthat the Chairman stretch a point andallow Mr Broadfoot to discuss thepoint. '
Mr McKeen said he was not pre-pared to do that.
Chairman’s AuthorityMr W. Sullivan (Opposition, Bay of
Plenty) rose to a point of order, butwas requested to resume his seat. Hethen resumed discussion on the Esti-mates, but the Minister of Supply (theHon. D. G. Sullivan), who was tem-porarily in charge of the House, saidthe position could not be left to re-main where it was, as the member forWaitomo had defied the Chairman. HesuSBcsled that the situation might bemet by a complete withdrawal and anexpression of regret by the memberfor Waitomo to the Chairman.Mr McKeen; I am unhappy aboutit. I have been here for 24 years,and I have never heard of or seensuch an attitude as that taken up bythe member for Waitomo.
Mr McKeen said that because theHouse was in committee some mem-hers thought they could take liberties.The Chairman of Committees was inauthority when the House was in com-mittee. The member had been defiantto the Chair, and he could"not under-stand the attitude of the Leader ofthe Opposition for not upholding thedignity of the House. If he (Mr Mc-Keen) were wrong in his ruling, themember for Waitomo had every rightto report progress and seek MrSpeaker’s ruling. He (Mr McKeen)was not infallible in his rulings.Mr Holland said that in suggestingas he had done, that the rules of de-bate be relaxed to enable Mr Broad-loot to discuss the particular matter,he had merely sought to pour oil onthe troubled waters. He was sure thatwith a little more co-operation MrBroadfoot would have expressed re-gret. There was no occasion for a rowon the matter. If the Minister, of Sup-ply _ insisted on taking Jhe issue upagain that was his responsibility. Hewas making a mountain out of a mole-hill.
Mr Speaker SummonedMr McKeen repeated that he wasdissatisfied with the position, and he’
reported progress to enable MrSpeaker to be summoned,Mr McKeen, reporting the incidentto Mr Speaker after the latter had re-sumed the chair in open House, saidMr Broadfoot had taken up a defiantaltitude to. the Chair, and irrespectiveof who was in the Chair, it was notright that a member should be allowedto defy it. Otherwise the standingorders of the House would mean verylittle, and the power and strength ofthe chairman during committee pro-ceedings would be undermined to anextent that it would be impossible tomaintain order. Members could ap-peal against the chairman’s ruling, but.the issue at the moment was whetherthey could defy the chairman’s rulingwhen it was given.
Mr Broadfoot said that when he wasdiscussing the case he had in mind hesaw the Minister in charge of the vote(the Hon. C. F. Skinner) whisper tothe Chairman of Committees. TheMinister was well aware of the par-ticular case, and he (Mr Broadfoot)concluded that the Minister did notwant the facts made public, and wasasking the chairman to rule him outof order.
Mr Speaker interrupted to say thatthe relationship between the memberfor Waitomo and the Chair was whatmattered.
Mr Holland said Mr Broadfoot hadthree times been asked to resume hissea\ and actually did so. Discussionwas actually proceeded on the esti-mates until the Minister of Supplyraised it again.
Mr Skinner said he had not askedthat Mr Broadfoot be “gagged.” Hewas quite prepared to discuss the casein question on the floor of the Houseor anywhere else.
"A Good Deal of Heat”Mr Speaker said the position wasclear. There had evidently been a
good deal of heat, but the Chairmanwas in charge, and had a duty to main-tain the decorum of debate and to ruleas to relevancy, Mr Speaker’s dutywas to uphold the Chairman of Com-mittees on these issues. He was con-fident that Mr Broadfoot’s sense of re-sponsibility and commonsense wouldprevail, and lead him to express hisregret to the Chairman of Committees.
Mr Broadfoot: I was requested to re-sume my seat, and did so.Mr Speaker: I hope the honourable
member’s good sense will lead him toexpress regret. Otherwise, I will haveto ask him to leave the chamber, andask the Prime Minister to move a mo-tion. I am sure the honourable mem-ber was carried away at the time.Mr Broadfoot: I was not carriedaway. I was perfectly cold on thematter.Mr Speaker said he was very sorry
about it, but must ask Mr Broadfootto leave the chamber.Mr Broadfoot then withdrew.The Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. P.Fraser) said he would be most reluc-tant to move Mr Broadfoot’s suspen-sion for the remainder of the sitting.
He did not think the matter warrantedthe feeling that had been engendered.
Mr Holland said if Mr Speaker hadnot denied him an opportunity earlierhe would have suggested a simplesolution, which might have preventedthe incident being carried so far. andhe would not have had to humiliatehimself by leaving the chamber, as henow proposed to do, to ask the mem-ber for Waitomo to return and expresshis regret.
Mr Holland then went out to conferwith Mr Broadfoot, and on his returnsaid Mr Broadfoot was suffering undera very grave feeling of injustice, andwould rather pay any penalty thansacrifice what he considered to be hisprinciples.
Mr Speaker said the incident couldbe allowed to close if Mr Broadfoot iwould return and make a statementwhich was acceptable to the PrimeMinister.
After further discussion Mr Broad-foot returned to tne chamber and said:“When the Chairman indicated that Ishouldresume my seat I said: ‘You cando what you like. I can leave thechamber.’ I will withdraw those wordsand express regret.”
This was accepted by tne House, andthe incident closed.
QUESTIONS PUTBY CONSTABLE
WARNING NOT GIVENFIRST
“GRIEVOUS BLUNDER”(P.A.) NAPIER, November 6.
“It is wrong in principle. It shouldnot be permitted. In my opinion theattention of senior officers, and thoseholding the highest rank in the serviceshould be drawn to the matter so thatappropriate steps may be taken stoavoid a recurrence,” said the ChiefJustice (the Rt. Hon. Sir MichaelMyers), in the Supreme Court thismorning, referring to police procedurein taking statements from suspectedpersons. The comment was made dur-ing the hearing of rape charges againstone of three Maoris.
A constable said he had -put twoquestions to the accused in relation toan alleged incident. “I then warned theaccused,” the witness added, “that hewas not compelled to make any furtherstatement, and that if he did, it mightbe used against him."
To Mr Willis, the Crown Prosecutor,the witness said he did not think itnecessary first to warn the accused.
Mr Willis: And your reason?The witness: Well, I was investigating
the complaint of a witness in the case,and I did not think it necessary to warnhim until such time as he said some-thing to incriminate himself.
His Honour: You ought to haveknown that you had no right whateverto have committed the accused to thisquestioning without first warning him.
The' witness explained that he wasunaware that he Was neglecting thecorrect procedure.
His Honour; Well, the sooner this isknown by every police officer to thechief officer of the ’ department him-self, the better it will be for the ad-ministration of the principles on whichBritish justice is administered.
His Honour said that the constablehad committed a grievous blunder, buthe was glad the point had been raised.He had noticed from Lower Court de-positions which had come before himoh previous occasions that similarthings had taken place.
In drawing the attention of -the de-partment to the matter his Honouradded that if this were not , done therewould be a multiplicity of such things,perhaps, and before the country knewwhere it was there would be a RoyklCommission of inquiry into themethods of the police.
A WATERPROOFMATCH
DEVELOPMENT INNEW ZEALAND
USE BY FORCES INPACIFIC
(P.A.> WELLINGTON, November 6.The claim has been made that
American chemists have produced awaterproof match which lights whenwet, and that for a year and a half itwas kept a military secret. Such amatch was produced early in 1943 bythe New Zealand Department ofScientific and Industrial Research foruse by Dominion, forces in thePacific.
"At that time much research andindustrial development work wasbeing put into the production of acompact, light-weight, individualration for tropical use,” said Mr L.W. _ Tiller, who carried out the ex-periments into the “amphibiousmatch.” He added that the work wasin the hands of specialists of theArmy, the Air Force, and of the de-partment, and manyr manufacturingfirms from Auckland to Dunedin.'gaveinvaluable assistance on specificproblems. Tobacco and matches were.included in the ration, and it was'realised that under jungle conditionsit was essential that the matchesshould remain unaffected by the hightropical humidity and immersion inwater. At that lime no force in thePacific had waterproof matches.
After a series of experiments MrTiller was able to produce a matchthat called forth the highest com-mendation from officials of the UnitedStates Joint Purchasing Board. Heplaced some matches for some time ina glass of water before the inter-viewer and had no difficulty in light-ing them afterwards. The matchescould remain immersed for severalhours with no bad effect,, Mr Tillersaid.
N.Z. NATIONALSIN THE EAST
�REPATRIATION WORK
COMPLETEDBRIGADIER CLIFTON
RETURNS(P.A.) AUCKLAND, November 6.
"The work of tracing and arrangingfor the repatriation of New Zealandnationals in the East has been com-pleted,” said Brigadier G. H. Clifton,D.5.0., M.C., on his return to Auck-land by flying-boat from Sydney.Brigadier Clifton has been engaged inliaison with American and Australianrfficials in tracing and repatriatingNew Zealanders interned by the Jap-anese and other nationals who wishedto travel to New Zealand. Most hadleft the East now, although there wereseveral still to come.
The outstanding New Zealand per-,sonality in China was Miss Annie.Tames, a medical missionary of theNew Zealand Presbyterian Mission,said Brigadier Clifton. When theJapanese captured Hong Kong MissJames joined a band of Chinese guer-rillas in the area and remained withthem as the only medical representa-tive for three years. She did marvel-lous work, and the Americans recog-nised the value of it by droppingmedical and other supplies for herfrom the air during the war. Thebrigadier added that she refused toleave China and wanted to carry onwith her medical and mission work.In fact, that was true of nearly allthe missionaries found.
"The health and general conditionof New Zealand nationals in the oc-cupied countries of the East was gen-erally about 10 per cent, better thanthe health of other nationals,” saidBrigadier Clifton. “The only way Ican account for it is that New Zea-landers use their heads and showmore initiative in looking after them-selves than many other races. It didnot matter what camp or area youwent to, you found either New Zea-landers or ■ Australians running the|how, and making a jolly good job of
A former Aucklander, Mr E. S.Adams, who before the war was em-ployed in Shanghai, for a long timeran an extensive black market overthe fence of the internment camp tofeed and clothe the prisoners bettersaid Brigadier Clifton. In the end heand his helpers, including his servantand several Chinese friends, werecaught out by the Japanese. Theywere rounded up. and Mr Adams wasimprisoned in a gaol full of Chinesecoollies for. three months. He had atcugh time.
The work of tracing and repatriat-ing internees went very smoothly, andthe utmost co-operation was .prac-tised among the various representa-tives in the area, Brigadier Cliftonsaid. Someone had shown very goodsense in appointing an Americancolonel who had been stationed inAustralia to work in liaison with theAustralian staff. The Australian andAmerican officials did a great job. andbetween them repatriated about 30,060persons.
INTERNATIONAL RADIOSTATION: A PROPOSAL
ONE WORLD
The advent of the atomic bomb, andof a new Government in Britain,should together give impetus to thehitherto obstructed progress towards areally practical /development of inter-nationalism. Obviously we must makea swift advance to a genuine worldpeace system or perish altogether.Fortunately our rulers know, fromtheir own experience in the world oflabour that international machinery isa practical proposition, bpt also thatthe machine must consist of concreteparts assembled one by one.
Co-operation in LuxemburgOne of these parts of the machine,
and an essential one, is adequate pub-licity for the principles of a worldpeace organisation, for its activitiesand for its progress, designed to securethe maximum public interest and sup-port. Indispensable to this publicityis a radio station at the disposal of theworld peace organisation, and its es-tablishment would" be a relativelysimple matter"given the full supportof the British Government. Such astation, in fact, existed in a substan-tial embryonic form until a few weeksago at Radio Luxemburg. Among thelast acts of the Caretaker Govern-ment was, with, the termination ofSHAEF, to end British participationin the operation 6f Radio Luxemburg.This station, from September. 1944,Until then had been broadcastingunder General Eisenhower’s control asa truly international institution.Americans, British, French. Belgians,Dutch, Czechoslovaks, Italians, Ger-mans, and, in latter days, Russians,co-operated splendidly in the produc-tion of programmes which secured avest audience and influence through-out Europe by virtue of their non-nalionalistic inspiration and tone.
British withdrawal was against thewishes of the Americans and allothers concerned. This was shown bythe reception given to a memorandum.which, before I left Luxemburg at theend of May, I submitted to all theauthorities involved. In this I pro-'posed the continuation of internationalbroadcasting from Luxemburg afterthe winding-up of SHAEF with a viewto the eventual transformation of, thiswell-equipped arid centrally placedstation into the voice of, the worldpeace organisation. My suggestionswere, briefly:—
1. An International Board of Gover-nors corresponding to the membership
The contributor of this article in the “Observer,” Mr NOEL' 5?NEWSOME, was formerly Director of the 8.8.C.’s European broad-casts and chief of Radio Luxemburg for SHAEF.
of the governing body of the world-peace orgariisation which should*select a chief of the station on merit- •and without reference to nationality.
2. A general council composed of ■members representing all the UnitedNations and later the neutral and for-mer enemy States, to meet on few butregular occasions to approve or di®.approve of the mannqr in which thebroadcasts were being conducted.■ 3. The station .to broadcast:—
A. Completely objective - and com-prehehsive bulletins of world news inmany languages, with particular refer-":ence to news concerning the develop-ment of an international outlook In :the world. .
B. Full accounts, with eye-witness Vreports and hook-ups, of the • major 'meetings of the world peace organise- ■tion.
C. Regular surveys of the activities ■of agencies connected with the world ;peace organisation, such as UNRRA. ,1.L.0., etc., and of such international 7bodies as the trade union movementprofessional, scientific, and artistic fe£lowships, and so on. :
,
D. Cultural, dramatic, and musicalprogrammes designed both to attract*the maximum audience and to promote !the love of the arts of peace and an •enlightened and ndn-chauvinistic ap-proach to life’s problems among cm-lised peoples. •, • , •
Warm American Support -
"
The American response to these pro-; ;posals was one of warm support. Thesame was true of the' representatives - :of all the other nations concerned with-the exception of the British, The late '
British Government expressed its lackof interest in the proposals and its de-sire to revert to what it termed i;“amicable nationalism.” Accordingly- *
when SHAEF ceased to exist, the *
American Office of War Information ;agreed to take over Radio Luxemburg. -but it did so expressly as trusteeffo rany future radio department which the :world peace organisation might set UpThere is every reason to believe that!if the scheme which I have outlinedabove or , some similar plan were howto be put with full British supportit \v9uld have a very good chance Ofbeing adopted. gv
>
Thus at least one of the essential - *
■parts of ■ a workable international ;machine could be put in place.

BRITAIN’S CIVILDEFENCE
j Organisation To1 Be Retained
I PRECAUTIONS FORFUTURE
!I Bee, 7 p.m.) LONDON, November 6.trine home Secretary (Mr Chuterpie), in moving the second reading|i'f the Civil Deience (Suspension
fjpowers) hill In the house or Com-mons, announced that tne Govern-ment regarded it as essential to retamdie deience organisation.
He paid a tribute to tne work of thecivil deience during the war, butadded that what naa happened duringthe war meant that the technique oxcivil defence was, in many respects,outdated, The purpose ox the bill wasto bring civil defence Up-to-date. TheGovernment desired to have a servicewhich was designed to deal with whatthe country would probably have toI meet in the future,
i. Mr Ede said nobody would be more|pleased than the Government if itIcould repeal the Civil Defence Act,abeing satisued that the risk of air
lattacs on Britain had passed for alllime. The Government, unhappily,could not take this view. It was theGovernment’s essential duty to takead necessary precautions as long asBritain was still liable to attack.
The Government had directed thata study should be made of recentforms of air attacks. Missions hadbeen sent to Germany to study theeffect of saturation bombing and theway in which the German civil de-fence reacted. Scientists were inJapan investigating the effects of theatomic bomb. The Governmentwould, in due course, know a. greatdeal more about the standard shelterrequired and the type of organisationbest fitted to deal with air attack inthe future.
The Home Secretary appealed tothose who took such an outstandingpart In Britain’s defence during thewar to keep together so that theywould be there if required.
He added that it was intended thatthe process of rebuilding civil de-fence, Within the framework of thelegislation already sanctioned, shouldbegin in a quiet and orderly manner.The Government would submit newproposals to Parliament if any radicalalteration of the whole system of civildefence was necessary or advisable.Thes all hoped that the organisationsat present being prepared to dealwith the world’s future peace mightbe effective, but it was necessary, forat least some years, to watch care-full/ to see that Britain was preparedto meet anything that might comeupon her in a state of full prepara-tion.

been ordered from British shipbuild-ers by the Federal Steam NavigationCompany, Ltd., and the New ZealandShipping Company, Ltd., both ofwhich are associated with the P. andO.

“The two companies at the outbreakof war owned 37 large refrigeratedliners, but they lost 18 during the war.
“Two new ships, the Devon and theSomerset, each of 10,000 tons gross,will be delivered in January and Junerespectively. They will have a capa-city for refrigerated cargo of between400.000 and 450.000 cubic feet, and be-tween 100,000 and 150.000 cubic feetfor general cargo.
“The motor-vessel Norfolk (11,000tons gross} will be completed in Sep-tember, and a contract has been placedfor five similar motor-ships. They willhave a capacity of 500.000 cubic feetfor refrigerated cargo and 200,000 cubicfeet for general cargo.
"It may be broadly said that thecosts of precisely similar ships are nowfully double those ruling before thewar.”
UNITED NATIONSAND EDUCATION
N.Z. DELEGATE SPEAKSAT CONFERENCE
“MAKING UP ARREARSOF WAR”LONDON, November 5.
New Zealand was warmly in sym-pathy with the aims of the UnitedNations Educational Conference, saidMr A. E. Campbell, Director of theNew Zealand Council for EducationalResearch, addressing the conference.The Dominion had. well before 1939,committed herself to a bold, avowedlydemocratic programme of educationaladvance. She hoped that the new or-ganisation which was to be estab-lished would assist her in carryingthrough that programme.
The Dominion had received stimu-lus and practical suggestions fromBritain and other Dominions, theUnited States, and the Scandinaviancountries, but he would like to see thechannels of communication widenedand deepened.
Referring to the great gap betweenthe stated aspirations of the UnitedNations and educational conditions asthey actually exist at the presentmoment, Mr Campbell declared thatNew Zealand was very conscious ofthat gap and of the fact that vast
numbers of children and young peoplewere being denied the opportunity ofgrowing to full stature.
The task of repairing the educa-tional ravages of war and making upthe educational arrears of the waryears was one of great urgency. Whileaction must be taken by individualcountries themselves, the new organi-sation would provide a powerfulstimulus to advance and would givemuch practical help to those coun-tries that desired it. New Zealandhoped,'1 therefore, that the new or-ganisation would be a really strong,effective body.

British Medical Association appointeda h eminent committee to determinewhat was the minimum amount of foodhj“ e unemployed required to maintainhealth and working capacity.” Headds: “This diet was pared to the boneto spare public funds. Any less varieddiet was considered inadequate be-cause it would be monotonous, nause-ous, and repugnant. The minimumamounts of fats and animal proteinstated to be essential in 1933 werenearly double those of which ourpresent rations provide.
“I believe that our prolonged malnu-trition is the main cause of the irrita-tion which causes unjustifiable strikes,the community's general fatigue, andof the lack of observation and’logicalthought which has, for instance, madesome previously intelligent peopleclamour for a further reduction of ourrations.
"An influenza epidemic, unless wehave more food, will find us too de-bilitated either to withstand the .ill-ness itself or the increased work whichwin be thrown on those who remainwell.
“Doctors even now are being consult-ed by patients who, withoutany detect-able illness, are genuinely so worn outthat they cannot continue to work. Itis impossible to treat them properly asmere is none of the food they requireto bring them back to normal health.“Absolute priority should be given tofishing and agriculture to remedy thisgrave crisis.”

RELATIONS OP LABOURAND MANAGEMENTWASHINGTON, November 5.
Opening the Labour and Manage-ment Conference, which has receivedunprecedented national publicity, Pre-sident Truman said: “On this confer-ence have been _ based many highhopes of the American people, who ex-pect you to furnish a permanent foun-dation for industrial peace and pro-gress. The time has come for labourand management to handle theiraffairs in the traditional American de-mocratic way.
“I hope to give up the President’swar-time powers as soon as possible,so that management and labour canagain have full, undivided responsibil-ity for providing the production neces-rssry to safeguard our domestic eco-nomy and our leadership on interna-tional affairs.‘’lndustrial strife appeared as soonas the first war-time controls were re-moved to a much greater degree thanwas expected. The basic considerationis colier'ive bargaining, but if thatfails there must be willingness to usesome impartial machinery. A substi-tute must be found for jurisdictionalstrikes, which destroy public confidencein the motives of trade unionism.
“On the other hand, nr._nagemcnttoooften regards labour relations as thestepchild of its business and it delaysaction until a controversy has reachedthe point where real collective bar-gaining becomes most difficult.

NEW TREATMENTFOR MALARIADRUG DEVELOPED
IN BRITAINLONDON, November 5.
An entirely new and revolutionarycompound, ’paludrine,” for the treat-ment of malaria has been discoveredby a team of British, research workers.It is revolutionary because it is a de-parture from conventional anti-malarial research. It is much simplerto manufacture, and it has a muchwider influence than any knownspecific.
Biologists have been working on thenew drug since 1942. Until recentyears the- only drug of real valueagainst malaria was quinine, thoughtwo synthetic compounds—pamaquinand mepacrine (atabrin)—emerged in1926 and 1930 respectively.
Although paludrine has not hadtests over long periods, it has beenused with outstanding success for thetreatment of patients, not only inLiverpool, where it was discovered,but in Australia, where supplies wereflown this year.
Paludrine is more effective and con-siderably less toxic than mepacrineand quinine. It is colourless and itdoes not produce the undesirable yel-lowing effect encountered in mostcases with mepacrine:
RAYON INDUSTRYBRITISH DELEGATION’S
REPORT(Rec. 1 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 6.
Australia is not satisfied that thedemand for rayon goods will be in-creasingly met by domestic produc-tion. New Zealand is equally deter-mined to develop a home industry,but has less chance than Australia ofproducing rayon goods economically.The delegation from the British RayonFederation, which this year visitedAustralia and New Zealand and sur-veyed the prospects for the Britishindustry’s export trade, made thesepoints in a report published to-day.
The report said Australia seemeddetermined to extend her manufac-turing capacity, which should increas-ingly meet the local markets’ demand.The delegation’s representations hadfailed to shake the New'Zealand Gov-ernment’s determination to establishsome form of rayon industry, if onlya weaving industry.
“The delegation lost no opportun-ity to show how the woollen andrayon industries could each benefit byco-operation,” says the “ManchesterGuardian.”
CENTRAL REGIMEFOR GERMANY
“NO MOVE AGAINSTFRENCH WISHES”
VIEW TAKEN BY THREEGREAT POWERS
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright)(Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, Nov; 6.
"It is ofßcislly stated in Londonthat no decision has been taken, inBerlin or elsewhere, whereby Britain,America, and Russia would proceedwith the establishment of a centralGerman administration against thewishes of France,’’ says the diplo-matic correspondent of “The Times.”‘The position in essentials remainsa£
u-as heen. The British view,which the Russians and Americansshare, is that the Potsdam decision toestablish central German departments
for finance, transport and communica-tions, foreign trade, and industryshould be implemented, ft is felt thatonly thus can Germany be satisfac-torily administered during the Occu-pation and the Germans so trainedthat when the occupation ends the Al-lies will not leave chaos behind.“This view does not exclude sym-pathy for the view put forward by theFrench, who, with a watchfulnessprompted by three invasions fromacross the Rhine, are disinclined tobless any development that mightseem to lay the foundations for afourth Reich.”
An official informant in Berlin wasreported yesterday to have saidthat Britain, the United States, andRussia would gb ahead with the plansfor a central administration in Ger-many on a three-Power basis, withoutFrench participation if France persist-ed in her opposition to such a regime.
The correspondent of the AssociatedPress in Berlin said it-was understoodtbat the three Powers intended tomakebilateral agreements between them-selves to establish a central administra-tion. This would leave a barrier be-tween the French occupied zone andthe rest of Germany. Such three-Poweraction in one sense would be what theFrench wanted,’as they desired to in-tegrate their zone economically, if notpolitically, with France. '

‘‘The camp is on the outskirts ofBerlin and has been operating for twomonths and a half.

(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright)(Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 5.
The Under-Secretary for ForeignAffairs (Mt Hector McNeil), replyingto < the debate in the House of Com-mons on European deportations, de-clared that Britain had not agreed tocountenance the movement of between4,000,000 and '4,500,000 refugees fromEastern Germany, as members of theHouse had asserted.
The British had agreed to accept1.750.000 refugees in their zone, but itwas impossible to give accurate figuresbecause the movement was so irregu-lar.
He added that the Government wasnot primarily concerned with the Rus-sian s Government, but with the PolishCzechoslovakian, and Hungarian Gov-ernments.
‘‘The Government is in no dangerof thinking of the problem as part ofa political jigsaw,” he said. ,“We lackprecise information, but we have aday-to-day stream of informationabout the people’s misery, suffering,ana hopelessness. We will continue toconsider these people who are pushedaround as human souls.”
“Russian officers to-day told Britishofficers who are handling the refugeeproblem in Germany that there hadbeen a misunderstanding about asian order which was reported to havebeen issued by radio on November 2ordering 1,000,000 persons who hadbeen evacuated from Western Germanytq return by to-day,” says Reuter’s cor-respondent m Berlin.
'They added that the order appliedoniy to aisplaced non-Germans. Theym any case, were not ordered to re-turn to Western Germany, but to moveinto camps for removal westward.
“British officials said that the non-Germans affected would be a minutenumber, possibly only several hu i-oreds.“Mr Josef Schlaffer, Director of theRefugee Administration for the Sovietne'i •
,
c Jarec? : ’We definitely have notthe slightest intention of moving largenumbers of people suddenly westwards.We on the contrary, are most anxiousthat this shall be an orderly movement.We are constantly broadcasting state-ments to this effect.’
“He added that the persons waitingto return to the western zone com-Pbised 350,000 for the British zone,380.000 for the French zone, arid 80,000for the American zone.”A British spokesman said that it wasthe general wish of all the parties con-cerned to get the problem of refugeesand displaced persons settled as soonas possible. They were striving to find:some formula by which they couldcarry out their tasks as fairly as pos-sible. It was estimated that therewould be 1,600.000 Germans in the Bri-tish zone by December 31, in additionto those already there. Poles were be-
mgeyacuated to Stettin at the fate of3000 daily.

(N.2. Press Association—Copyright}MELBOURNE, Nov. 6.
Australian Ministers have issuedcontradictory statements about thearms carried by the 1400 Indonesianswho threatened to mutiny on theEsperance Bay during her voyagefromAustralia to Java.
The Acting-Minister of ExternalAffairs (Mr N. J. O. Makln) said thatFederal officers suspected that the In-donesiansMvere concealing arms whfenthey bparded the Esperance Bay InAustralia, but that the authorities didnot search for arms because theywished to avoid provoking the Indo-nesians.
The Minister of Immigration (MrA. A. Calwell) said there had neverbeen any evidence that arms weresmuggled on to the Esperance Bay atAustralian ports. He added that theAustralian naval authorities had takenall precautions against any possibility’of trouble at any stage of the voyage.There was never any reason for any-one aboard the Esperance Bay to fearfor his life.Mr Makin denied allegations thatthe ship s officers were in danger offaemg murdered, that the Indonesiansadopted such a menacing attitude thattbs ship s captain asked for an escort,and that the destroyer Arunta joinedhei', before she called at Timor.Mr Calwell said that the Arunta ac-co.mpamed the Esperance Bay fromDarwin because the captain of theEsperance Bay took- normal precau-tions against the possibility of trouble

Eedoral Ciovernment is- being?nn £j3ken task by the Opposl-tion leaders and newspapers for itsThe nE®P erance Bay episode.a 'the Country Party (MrFadden) has demanded an im-mediate investigation into Allegationsthat the 1400 Indonesians repatriatedfrom Australia in the Esperance Baywere allowed to carry away arms andtake control of the ship.In reply to Mr Fadden, the Ministerof Immigration (Mr A. A. Calwell)denied that the Indonesians • carriedarms, saying that the departure of theIndonesians was carefully supervisedby officers of the Security Service.Later, however, the Acting-Ministerof External Affairs (Mr N. J. 0.Makin) said the Australian authoritiessuspected before the Esperance Bayleft Australia that the Indonesians hadconcealed arms. .
The newspapers are demanding thatthe Government should clarify; q)whether, the report that the Indo-nesians on board the liner were armed13 they got the arms;and (3) what kind of precautions weretaken to prevent them carrying armsfrom this country.
‘‘Canberra’s responsibility for thewhole disgraceful business is incontest-able.” says the “Sydney Morning Her-ald” in an editorial. “If the striking In-donesian seamen did not commit piracyagainst the ship en route to Bataviait was no fault of the Ministers inCanberra. The story of the EsperanceBay's voyage can-hardly.fail to lowerAustralian prestige among the colouredraces everywhere beyond our northernwaters. i
Naval Escort Requested“It is now plain that the captain ofthe Esperance Bay, fearing trouble be-
fore he left Australian waters, de-manded and later received an escort-ing warship. In spite of this he waseither ordered, or felt obliged, to aban-don his original instructions to landcertain natives at ports of call andproceeded direct to the safe Allied portat Batavia.
“Mr Makin admits that the Indo-nesians were not searched for arms,nor was an 'armed guard put on theship ‘because any action might haveprovoked the Indonesians into refusalto sail.’
“Australian wharf labourers, ‘in anearlier furtherance of their pro-Indo-nesian sentiments, had held up Dutchand other shipping for three weeks,refusing to allow any arms or troops,or even food, to be carried in them toBatavia. The Prime Minister ,in Can-berra consented to this dictation ofGovernment policy. His Cabinet didnot mind provoking the Dutch Gov-ernment, but it would not dare to pro-voke the Indonesian lawbreakers byexamining their luggage for arms.
“Mr Chifley’s long tolerance of unionlawlessness has landed him in ahumiliating dilemma. Under TradesHall pressure his Government has in-tervened gratuitously in an insurgentmovement which is not the affair ofAustralia. As an attempt to run inforeign politics, while we are stilllearning to walk, the episode islamentable. It is little calculated tomake either the Dutch or Indonesianshenceforth trust us. The revelationthat Australian troops, placed on anAustralian ship, were unequal to cop-ing with the defiance of a mob olnative passengers being repatriated asundesirable immigrants can hardly failto provoke derision everywhere fromTimor to Suez.”

ported by puppet troops, are threaten-ing the Communist forces.
(3) That 10 American aeroplanesdropped leaflets on the Communist-held town of Kuan on October 21,warning the Communists to withdrawin three days.

DOMINION WOOLSUPPLIES I
FREER IMPORTS TOBRITAIN
limited permissionTO MERCHANTS
. (Special Correspondent N2.P.A.)(Bee. 10 p.m.) . LONDON! Nov. 5. -
It is officially announced in -Brad* :.
ford that' wool merchants and top*makers may forthwith arrange to im- ■port against their rations of wool fromNew Zealand, Australia, or SouthAfrica. This is ; regarded; as one of -the most- Important wool tradevelopments for several years, as it re-■ :stores freedom for a limited amount of " 1commercial importation of* Dominionwool into Great Britain after six years,during which the . United KingdomGovernment has been the sole Im-porter. - ' ■ ;
The arrangement does hot relax con-itrol, for these imports will be confined < *■to; rationed quantities and to types Ofwool needed for'planned production inBritish manufactured goods* but it •gives the trade its long-waited directaccess'to the wider selections p( woolfound only in Dominion supplies. '
'
The authorities ' recognise' that itWould not be easy for firms here toobtain delivery of wool from the' dis-tant Dominions ana to process it forsale in the . current. November toFebruary wool ration period; so the •
firms are to be allowed to buy abroadat once on account of the rations they-will be required to Sell here duringthe from March to June next.This will 'afford ample time for im-porting and processing before sale to' ■ 'the ultimate customers. They may also 'buy*their current November to Febru-ary rations in the Dominions if it isconsidered practicable. /
Wool bought under this-scheme willenjoy United Kingdom shipping priori-ties.
Not bh Pre-war SealeNew 'Zealand inust not expect aUnited Kingdom wool demand on thepre-war scale at this stage. At pre-sent only half the.total wool require*
ments for British mills is passing 1through the merchants’ and topmakers'haftds—the rest being supplied by con- j
trol—so that at most only half Britain’scurrent requirements can possibly besubject to the commercial importationarrangements, and part of that hallwill almost certainly be required from .spot stocks here.
The important feature is that woolis gradually moving back, to pre-warmethods of distribution, and it is ex-pected that the volume of wool to passthrough normal channels of supplywil’ be gradually increased in‘ laterperiods. •
Meanwhile, it must be understoodthat traders here cannot import,woolto stock, but may buy only, rationedquantities for the current needs of theindustry. Sales in the Dominions willbe on a “from . store” basis (exceptNew Zealand slipes and scoureds,which will be sold f.0.b.), and sterling 'payment in London for the amount ofthe invoice rendered to the buyer’sagent by the New Zealand MarketingDivision will become due within 14days from the date of sale to thebuyer’s agent in New Zealand. *
. It is announced here that the com*mittee of London woolbrokers whoordinarily organise the London woolsales will in future sell .on behalf ofWool Control that portion of the wool
, ration which British merchants andtopmakers acquire from United King-
; dom stocks. The London auctions are1 not to be resumed at this stage, and1 the wool will be on sample with thebuyers enjoying a limited choice fromthe display of samples.

UNIVERSITY PRESSPRELIMINARY WORK
IN HANDlong history of
PROJECTThe establishment of a Universityof New Zealand Press, a project thathas been pursued by the Universityfor some 30 years or more, was
brought nearer by the decision of theSenate this year to provide ±ISOO forthe initial exploratory work and forpreliminary expenses: and the provi-sional board of managers set up bythe Senate will shortly invite thesubmission of manuscripts suitable forpublication.These may be either works of gen-
eral cultural interest and value ori, studies likely to advance the cause ofscholarship and learning. The pro-visional board of managers has definedthe following classes of material as ac-ceptable for publication: <a) originalwoiks of learning, (b) works of gen-eral cultural interest, (cl periodicalsor journals, (di annotated biblio-graphies, tel abstracts of theses, and(ft manuals or text-books.
It is not intended that the Uni-versity should establish its own print-ing house, although some of the over-sea universities are printers as wellas publishers. Inquiries are nowbeing made both in Australia andKew Zealand concerning possible ar-rangements for publication by con-tract under the University's own im-print. ‘
Advice so far obtained on technicalaspects of printing, storage of stocks,and distribution within and beyondthe Dominion suggests that Christ-church has marked advantages overother centres in New Zealand as aheadquarters for the University ofNew Zealand Press.“No Legal Power”
The history of the University Pressproposal goes back to January, 1914,when the Christchurch Committee ofthe University Senate was instructedto consider questions of cost and prac-ticability; but in 191G the Senate de-cided that no action should be takenduring the war. In January. 1924, theChristchurch Committee’s report,which recommended the establishmentof the press, was adopted; but a legalopinion obtained from the University’ssolicitors was that the Senate had nopower to spend money on the project.Amendments to the University Acthaving removed this obstacle, the Aca-demic Board in 1943 asked the Senateto take the necessary steps to estab-lish the press. Acting on a new re-port from the Christchurch Commit-tee the Senate this year set up theprovisional board of managers totake the initial exploratory steps andto prepare a plan of organisation.
The need 'for a press is consideredby the University to be as great to-day as in 1915, when the project wasfirst considered. The University Press'Committee, in its report to the Senatein that year, quoted the Royal Com-mission on University Education in■ London:
“An Essential Function”, "The benefit which a university can
confer on the world of learning de-pends largely upon the influence thatit has upon other universities andlearned bodies. Shorter scientific con-tributions are perhaps best madeknown by publications in the recog-nised periodicals devoted to the sub-jects to. which they relate; but thepublication of longer original workscannot be made upon a commercialbasis, and unless a university can as-sist its investigators by bringing theirlabours- to the notice of other investi-gators in the same field, not only willits own students and teachers be dis-couraged, but the advance of know-ledge. which it is one of the chiefpurposes of a university to achieve,will be delayed because other workerswill be ignorant of what has alreadybeen done or attempted. The estab-lishment of a university press underthe full control of the university it-self is therefore, in our opinion, anessential function of the university.”
Periodical Journal ProposedThe provisional board of managershas in view the possibility of pub-lishing a quarterly or periodical jour-
nal of general interest and not con-• taming purely technical work.. Thismight contain, for instance, presiden-tial addresses to learned societies , andclubs, to. which much work and re-search is frequently devoted, andWould be a means of linking the uni-versity colleges. Such a journalwouldalso serve as a review medium. Thepublication of annotated bibliographies
. and abstracts of theses,,it is considered,would provide valuable tools forfurther research. The press could alsohelp to meet the lack, which is acuteIn some of the sciences, of text booksand manuals having a specific New
■Zealand application.The board of managers has decidedto recommend to the Senate that,
. when Tit approaches the Governmentfor a grant for the press, it should atthe same time raise the question ofthe establishment of a literary fund,similar to the Australian Common-wealth Literary Fund.
ASSISTANCE TOBRITAIN_—«
NEW ZEALAND’S EFFORTSAPPRECIATED
<P.A.)FRANZ JOSEF GLACIER. Nov. 6.Rationing efforts to assist Britain oq,
the part of New Zealanders weregreatly appreciated, and they wouldhave to continue sending goods forsome time, as the Homeland was sadlyin need of them, observed Mr AlfredTarlton, London manager of the Na-tional Mortgage and Agency Company,Ltd., in an address to the annual con-ference of the Grain, Seed, and Pro-duce Merchants' Federation at FranzJosef Glacier.
Another effort by New Zealandersmore appreciated than they knew wasthe forwarding of parcels to friendsin England. Mr Tarlton said he hadnoticed an improvement in pastures inNew Zealand during the last 16 years,due, he understood, entirely to timing.England's problems to-day were asdifficult as they would necessarily beniter six years of war, and not theleast important was the recovery ofIts export trade.
FURTHER SLIPS ONWEST COAST ROADS
RESTORATION WORKSDAMAGED
From Our Own ReporterFRANZ JOSEF GLACIER, Nov. 6.
Further slips and washouts oc-curred on the Main South highwaybetween Franz Joset Glacier and We-heka and damaged the restorationworks'Of the repaired area whichwereaffected at the week-end near Hare-mare creek. The road services buswas caught between two slips to-dayand is now marooned there. It willbe impracticable for the usual thrpughservice to operate to-morrow, and pas-sengers will again require to walk ap-proximately a mile and a half over theaffected area.
Heavy rain continued throughoutthe southern part of the province fromlate yesterday afternoon. No otherdamage toroads hasbeen reported fromnorthern parts of the province, thoughthere was some slight interruption totelephone services because of lightningand a tree falling across the wires.
Restoration work on the affectedroute is being impeded by the con-.tinual heavy rain, and it is possiblethat the route might not be fully re-stored for traffic before the week-end.

GOOD DEMAND FORQUALITY DULLS
TOP PRICE 380 GUINEASThe fourth annual show and sale ofAberdeen-Angus registered bulls and

The ideal weather drewa big gathering of. farmers who are be-coming interested in the progress ofthe breed, and also breeders from vari-ous parts of the province and furtherafield. *§
The show and the sale that followedwere perhaps the most successful of thegatherings yet held ■ by the association,only one bull and one heifer being parsedof the 60 offered.

Topprice last year was 300gns, secured byRobert Fraser (Pleasant Point).The demand for yearling bulls slippedafter the prizetakers had been offered,except for a few of the best, but therewas a recovery when the two-year-oldunled bulls were offered. Station ownersand farmers were after the mature types.The best of these sold at from 45gns toGlgns, which figure was paid for one ofE. A. F. Wilding's offering, this breederselling several others at up to 50gns.

COMPANY NEWSD.l.C.—The operation of price control
orders, and subsequent increases in thewages bill, which could not be passedon, had precluded shareholders from shar-ing in the higher profits earned during-ihe year,, said Mr J. M. Paterson, chair-man of directors of the Drapery andGeneral Importing Company of New Zea-land, Ltd., at the annual meeting in Dun-edin yesterday afternoon. At presentpractically every retailer could sell morethan he could buy, said Mr Paterson.Opinions differed as to when an improve-ment could be expected, but their com-pany could do nothing more than pursuea policy of careful buying of the sup-plies available. This policy, during thelast year, had produced a gratifying in-crease in turnover and in gross profit.Trading- profit was still rigidly controlledby price orders, however, and, the tradehad- been compelled to carry' wage In-creases on the reduced profit rate thatwas fixed before the.lncreases were madeThis effect had been accentuated by thereturn of many employees, with the re-sult that the net return, in spite of in-creased turnover, showed little variationon the previous year. "If-we summarisethe company’s financial position,” said MrPaterson, “its indebtedness, excludingcapital, amounts to £185.000, while itsliquid assets amount to £526,629, whichshows a surplus of £341,629, an Improve-ment of £20,127 on last year.”—(P.S.S.)'

SHIPPING SPACEREQUIREMENTS
�CRITICAL SITUATION
REPORTED“The shipping situation is morecritical than it has been for many
months,” said the secretary of theCanterbury Manufacturers’ Association<Mr R. T. Alston) in comment-ing on the lack of shipping spacefor goods, mainly from the SouthIsland to the North Island. He saidthat strong’ representations were being■ made_ to the Manufacturers’ Federa-tion in Wellington, and it was hopedthat within the next few days therewould be a meeting of manufacturer-shippers “with a view to ventilatingthe matter.”
One company, he said, had 300 tonsof hay presses which it was unable toship, and it was fortunate that the
problem had not been at aseason when there might have been aserious harvesting hold-up. A furthercompany had not received ' any rawmaterials from the North Island sinceJuly for the manufacture of cigarettecartons, and at the same time had notbeen able to send appreciable quanti-ties of cigarette packets to the NorthIsland, so that cigarette productionwas likely to be adversely affectedunless the position improved imme-diately.
Another manufacturer had 409 elec-tric ranges waiting for shipment. An-other company had hospital equip-ment awaiting shipment. Two com-panies had had no alternative but torefuse further orders from the NorthIsland because they had no idea whendeliveries could be made. Many othertypes of commodities, were affected,some of the manufacturers not havinghad shipping space for a month. Som eof the goods held up,’ also, were likelyto deteriorate,if the delay continued.
Mr Alston said that, it was under-stood that some ships weri expectedfrom the North Island, but definitearrival dates were not available.
Ue added that there was also ex-treme delay in the dispatch of over-seas cargo from Wellington to Lyttel-ton, presumably through the lack ofcoastal shipping space.
WATERFRONT DELAYIN AUCKLAND
SHIPPING CONTROLLER’SCOMMENT
The “go slow” policy on the Auck-land waterfront has contributed to thepresent shipping difficulty, about whichcomplaints have been made by the Can-terbury Manufacturers’ Association.This is made, clear in a comment madeby the Shipping Controller (Mr J. H.Gilbert).
"We have had six steamers with acapacity of 4000 tons each trading be-'tween the South Island and Wellingtonand Auckland,” he said, adding thatthere were also small craft trading be-tween the South Island and New Ply-mouth, Napier, and Wanganui.
Both the Omana and the Korowalhad been seriously delayed throughthe watersiders’ “go slow” policy atAuckland. These and the Waimana,with others as soon as they could beturned round, would carry cargoesfrom Lyttelton.

CRUISER ARRIVES*
H.M.S. NEWFOUNDLANDAT LYTTELTON
H.M.S. Newfoundland, a unit of theBritish Pacific Fleet, arrived at Lyt-’telton yesterday morning from PortChalmers and was berthed at the westside of No. 3 wharf. The cruiserwill remain at Lyttelton until Friday,when she will sail for Wellington, pro-ceeding thence to Sydney. While atLyttelton about half of the ship’s com-pany will be given overnight leaveeach night.
An orderly mass of armaments andinstruments, together with her square,or “sawn-off,” stern, are the moststriking features of the Newfoundland.“About as much shape as a 400-gallontank” was the description given to thestern 'by a ■ spectator as the vesselmoved into her berth. With all that,the ship has the appearance of a high-ly efficient fighting machine. She isvery heavily armed against aircraftand even the upper after gun turret,with its big guns, has been removedand replaced with a "pom-pom” bat-tery.
Official calls were made on the com-mander, Captain C. C. A. Allen, R.N.,during the morning and later the callswere returned by Captain Allen.
RUGBY FOOTBALL*
COMMENT ON KIWIS’FORM
FORWARDS DISAPPOINTIN SCRUMMAGE
(Special Correspondent N.Z.P A.)LONDON, November 5.
The Kiwi . touring Rugby team, judg-ing by the commentators, is having teeth-ing trouble with its pack._No fewer than28 men have played in the three gamesso far,-and, although the backs are play-ing well, the forwards apparently havenot had time to settle down.
"The Times” says: "The New Zealand-ers had to ■ fight hard for their successat Neath against a side whose record thisseason suggested that a far heavier de-feat was in store. Once again the NewZealand forwards disappointed in thescrummaging phase of the game, in whichthey will have to show considerable im-provement. Rhind was beaten for posses-sion time after time, and if Neath hadhad backs in any way comparable as a setwill) those of their opponents, the resultwould probably have been, far different.The New Zealand backs won the game,their handling and skilful backing upbeing admirable. Smith, in the centre,gave aqoUier glorious display. King, atfive-eighth, was excellent. Shenatt, onthe wing, showed both speed and a de-vastating hand-off, and Scott, at full-back, was a model of coolness and ac-curacy.
“Saxton, the captain, making his firstappearance at scrum half, did enough toprove that be would be very good In-deed behind a winning pack.”
"Splendid Back Division’’E. H. D. Sewell, in the "Daily Sketch."says: “I am told by a reliable Judge
who saw the match thaf it is unlikelythat tlie New Zealand touring side willever be beaten more completely in tirescrummage' than they were at Neath.They did not Jieel the ball more thanhalf a dozen times in tlie game, whichwas won by the Kiwis because they hadfaster and more purposeful backs. Com-ing Into the side for the first time. Sax-’ton had a thankless task behind a packwhich served him badly, yet he was ableto get the ball back on several occasionswhen he appeared overwhelmed. TheNew Zealanders must brush up theirscrummaging. That was the lesson taughtthem by the match—they cannot afford toleave everything to their splendid backdivision."
Cardiff beat another New Zealand teamby 14 points to 3, but a third New Zea-land team beat Northampton by 11 points16 6._The Dominion has players in both theOxford and Cambridge University teams.P. W. Day, formerly of Auckland Urii-versity College, played for Oxford whenit beat a combined Riclunond-Blackheathteam by 17 points to 3. H. M.

HEALTH STAMP SALES——'�——
PLANS FOR POSTMEN’S DRIVE,
Sixty rounds affecting about 36,000households will be covered by post-men.and postwomen in their voluntarydrive soon in aid of the health stampcampaign, the hope being that theywill raise from £IOOO to £2OOO for thecampaign funds, which will requirethe sale of three times that value ofstamps.
The drive will be made from Mon-day. November 12. until Saturday, No-vember 18. Instead of leaving lettersm boxes, the postmen will go to eachhouse, though officials hope that resi-dents will help by meeting the post-man at the gate when they hear hiswhistle. It is hoped that residentswill buy at least 3s worth of stamps.The Chief Postmaster (Mr D. R.Thomson), who is organiser of thedrive said yesterday that Christchurchnow had its own hoallh camp, servingNelson, Westland. Marlborough andthe Canterbury district. The drive w.asintended to ensure that Christchurchfound its full share of the funds neces-sary to maintain the camp.
The committee in charge of thedrive comprises Messrs G. F. French(secretary), C. B. Revell, J. Greenslade,W. E. Smith. F. Regan, Miss V. E. Har-rison, and Miss J. M. Butler.

with the Rehabilitation Board concern-ing the sale of my property. When Idecided to sell I wrote to the boards atChristchurch and Ashburton notifyingthem that I had a little property 1wished to sell that might suit a re-turned man. This was in June last. Iwaited a month and my letter was notacknowledged. Well, I sold it througha firm and the buyer was a returnedman. He applied to the board for aloan, which was granted; I am stillwaiting for the money to pay down ona property I bought. The Rehabilita-tion Department is advertising that itis paying spot cash. I have waited fourmonths and am still waiting.—Yours,etc.,

Doesthe executive now sit back in smugcomplacency and let matters slide; isit placing these claims.before theMin-ister of Pensions in the present ses-sion; or do war pensioners have towait till after the next election forsomeone to wake up and rememberwho fought and returned disabled andso Helped the country to be able tokeep on paying pensions to those inneed?—Yours, etc.,
MORE CURIOUS.October 20, 1945.The General Secretary of the Re-

“The New Zealand Returned Ser-vices’ Association is one of the mostdemocratic organisations in this Do-minion; and if the Dominion Execu-tive Committee is hot acting in ac-cordance with the direction of tbe-Dominion Council, it is competent forthose correspondents to convince theircomrades who are financial membersand have the personnel changed.
“So far as the particular DominionCouncil (not Dominion ExecutiveCommittee) remit referred to is con-cerned. the increases indicated werein respect to rates of economic, notwar, pension; and the opinion of theMinister in Charge of War. Pensionsregarding the increases is before theproper sub-committee of the Domingion Executive Committee for action.

Does noteverything indicate that both outstand-ingly good and bad results are obtainedfrom this species? In the immediatefuture, timber stands are to be cleanedup and homes.built. With each helpingthe other, could technical experts as-sociated with timber workers, saw-millers, builders, homemakers, andgrowers, immediately clarify- this posi-tion, and safeguard all interests?—Yours, etc.-.

NOW, with the amendment of the FairRents Act, the way is open for house-holders to assist in the housing of re-turned servicemen.There is a great dearth of houses, butthere are still many homes with unoc-cupied rooms which. If made availablewould fill the gap pending the erectionof permanent dwellings.The amendment to the Fair Rents Actgives to householders the right to ar-range tenancies for stated periods or 1oobtain repossession of their rooms shouldthe tenant prove undesirable.This ensures a home for the servicemanduring the critical period of his earlyrehabilitation and enables the household-
er to make a contribution towards thesolution of this most urgent problemwithout losing control of his property.As a tribute to our servicemen, youare URGED TO HELP.Please send in details of any rooms, orbach, you have available to your localRehabilitation Office, when details of the
